[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op was just turned into an unpaid morning babysitter.[/quote] Same problem in my neighborhood. Parents taking advantage of the kindness of one full time WFH (single) parent whom is now an unpaid aftercare babysitter. This does not a village make. [/quote] But the parents taking advantage will say how they love their "village". I see it often. Some of the PPs posting how it doesn't matter if a parent can't reciprocate or contribute, but other parents should still continue to support them are insane. Every time I help, it quickly turns into being taken advantage of. OP is being taken advantage of. The neighbor is not contributing - just expecting people to give to her. It's more common than you think and the older I get, the more I see of it. In my experience, the common denominator for someone who will take advantage of and use you is someone who talks about how much they "love their village".[/quote]
